Hi

i know exactly how you are feeling, I have my appointment Monday morning, thankfully for me the Nighttime seems to be ok for me but as soon as I wake up the anxiety kicks in and my mind starts working overtime. I notice from the time that you posted you are really struggling at night, please try and get some sleep if you can over the weekend so that you are prepared for Monday’s appointment, I have started to write down what I think I need to ask, no doubt they will answer everything before I need to ask, but for me writing things down seems to calm down my anxiety a bit.

Take care

Hi,

Thanks Addy64. Sounds stupid and probably shouldn't but when I am asleep and I waking up so many time because of what ifs. Like dreams. My mind asleep is giving where I having to tell my mum, child, other half how. It's crazy when it's more than likely nothing and should not be so scared, and my anxiety is at a all time high but I bet on Monday the docs will day it's just a fibramona nothing to worry about go home stop stressing. 

But nighttime I am going over what if that or that.

Stupid mind 

I have the weekend off work and I will have a glass of wine or something..

I am mentally exhausted.

Hi shambles , nothing you have said sounds stupid, I am having the same thoughts and my anxiety is at the same level. Whilst it does not make it any easier but from  reading the posts on here what we are feeling seems to be the norm.. 

Like you I am hoping that at the clinic they say the same, I suspect that at the clinic My anxiety levels will be sky high and being a person who normally keeps everything bottled up thats another thing that’s worrying me slightly, but my husbands said sod it if I want to be nervous and cry then just do it.

Take care and roll on Monday

Hope everyone is ok?

Thanks for getting past this week it's been a difficult.

Hi shambles

Hope your appointment went OK.

 I was surprised at how nervous I was, but it turned out OK for me, after the mammogram and ultrasound the clinic say everything looks normal and they could not find anything  so do not have to see me again. I think they could tell from my reaction that I was surprised and a bit embarrassed,  it looks as though the lump was actually breast tissue, i think I must have really lumpy breasts.

They did  reassure me that I had not wasted anyone's time and that they would rather check and find that it was OK than me sit at home and not want to bother them. 

Hi hope you are okay. I too have been referred urgently to the breast clinic due to swelling and tenderness on left side near armpit. Plus sensitive skin side of left breast, really a read it's going to be cancer and that it's spread because of the tenderness near armpit. My appointment is on Thursday, I was calm before as didn't think it was anything to worry about but now I'm really worried it will show cancer. Think I'm scared as I lost my sister to cancer.

Hi,

I had exactly the same outcome.... I also said exactly the same thing, I also got the same response.

Take care now
